Ocean aerobiology is defined here as the study of biological particles of marine origin,
including living organisms, present in the atmosphere and their role in ecological …

This study attempts a new identification of mechanisms of secondary ice production (SIP)
based on the observation of small faceted ice crystals (hexagonal plates or columns) with …

A total of 16 global chemistry transport models and general circulation models have
participated in this study; 14 models have been evaluated with regard to their ability to …

Supercooled clouds substantially impact polar surface energy budgets, but large-scale
models often underestimate their occurrence, which motivates accurately establishing …

Biological material has gained increasing attention recently as a source of ice-nucleating
particles that may account for cloud glaciation at moderate supercooling. While the ice …

Future sea ice retreat in the Arctic in summer and autumn is expected to affect both natural
and anthropogenic aerosol emissions: sea ice acts as a barrier between the ocean and the …

Emissions of ice-nucleating particles (INPs) from sea spray can impact climate and
precipitation by changing cloud formation, precipitation, and albedo. However, the …

Abstract Potassium feldspars (K-feldspars), such as microcline, are considered key dust
minerals inciting ice nucleation in mixed-phase clouds. Besides the high ice nucleation …

Pollen carry water extractable compounds with ice nucleating (IN) activity. This study
investigates whether the hydroxyl radical, as the major atmospheric oxidant, can affect the IN …

Cloud microphysics schemes in global climate models have long suffered from a lack of
reliable satellite observations of cloud ice. At the same time there is a broad consensus that …
